Surface Armatures by Lekan Jeyifous

This series by OlaLekan Jeyifous, a Brooklyn-based artist and designer, was exhibited at Skink Ink Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for the Flatlands show. A series of urban utopias, which show us possible future post-industrial landscape.

Lekan Jeyifous has rendered a series of great images that depict different speculative urban landscapes and façades. These illustrations are a continuation of the aesthetic language he employed for the "City Settlement" series, except where the site for those were vast abandoned landscapes, the site for these are dilapidated urban industrial facades. The crumbling and decayed surfaces of these buildings provide the foundation for a variety of intervening architectural devices.
